Turning to 302, controller 210 can obtain formulation delivered and control data 208.Formulation delivered controls data 208 can With for every by the three-dimensional body being generated to define coalescent by be delivered in the part built on material or position Put (if any).
Formulation delivered can be derived by the most suitable three-dimensional body processing system and control data 208.In some examples In, three-dimensional body processing system can be contained in increasing material and manufactures in system 200.Such as, instruction 218 can be additionally Including when being performed by processor 212, make processor 212 as three-dimensional body processing system as described herein Carry out the instruction operated.In other examples, three-dimensional body processing system can manufacture outside system 400 increasing material. Such as, three-dimensional body processing system can be software application or the part of software application, can separate with system 200 Calculating equipment on perform.
In some instances, can object design data based on the threedimensional model represented the object being generated and/or root Generate formulation delivered according to the object design data of the attribute representing object and control data 208.Model can limit object Solid portion, and can be processed to generate plane-parallel of model by three-dimensional body processing system.Each Sheet can limit the part will be manufactured system solidification by increasing material of the equivalent layer building material.Thingness data can limit The attribute of earnest body, such as density, surface roughness, intensity etc..
Can via such as input equipment 220 from user, from software driver, from such as computer-aided design (CAD) The software application of application etc receives object design data and thingness data as the input from user, or can Object design number is obtained with the memorizer from storage acquiescence or user-defined object design data and thingness data According to thingness data.
In some instances, object processing system can obtain about increasing the data that material manufactures the characteristic of system 200.This Plant characteristic and such as can include layers of build material thickness, the attribute of coalescent, the attribute of structure material, and energy source 226 Attribute, the attribute of heater 230 and the attribute of temperature sensor 228.
Formulation delivered controls data 208 can be for building on material poly-by the processed each layer of description building material Knot agent is by the position being delivered to or part.In one example, the poly-of structure material is limited by corresponding pattern Knot agent is by the position being delivered to or part.
Depending on the characteristic being described above, the delivery density of coalescent can change.Such as, when coalescent by When delivering or permeated the energy that the part building material thereon receives applying, those the energy partially absorbed Travel to the region around other.In one example, the attribute that coalescent can be selected and the coalescent being delivered Amount is so that energy is in the spherical interior propagation of about 1.5 times of Layer thickness.This can aid in and not only guarantees interlayer Fully bonding, and also ensure that the abundant bonding between the laterally adjacent part building material.Beg for as will be referred to frame 310 Opinion, this density can also be varied the temperature building material with regulation.
By this way, while object processing system may determine that such as intensity at object still can fully ensure that, Horizontal spacing between the adjacent drop that can increase.Do so can reduce putting down to layers of build material delivery coalescent All density, and thus reduce the consumption of coalescent, but do not affect the intensity of object.
304, as shown in Fig. 4 a and 5a, it is provided that layers of build material 402b.Such as, as discussed earlier , controller 210 can control to build material dispenser by making structure material dispenser 224 move along y-axis Layer 402b is provided on the 224 layer 402a being previously completed on supporting member 204.The layer 402a completed can include Cured part 408.Although the layer 402a shown for illustrative purposes in Fig. 4 a-d, but it should reason Solve, can initially applying step 304 to 326 to generate ground floor 402a.
In some instances, the thickness of layers of build material 402b provided can have from about 50 to about 300 The value selected in scope between micron and about 90 to about 110 microns or about 250 microns, although at other Example can provide thinner or thicker layers of build material.Such as can be controlled data by controller based on formulation delivered 208 control thickness.
306, it may be determined that build the Temperature Distribution of material.Such as, the temperature of such as thermal imaging camera 228 passes By seizure, sensor such as can represent that the image of the radiation profiles building material obtains Temperature Feedback.As begged for earlier Opinion, in other examples, a series of images can be taked to generate composograph or the mean chart representing radiation profiles Picture.Can be by controller 210 or by processor use radiation profiles material temperature based on structure material in video camera With the known relation (such as black matrix distribution) between radiant intensity determines the Temperature Distribution building material.Known pass System such as can present the fixed conversion from radiant intensity to temperature.The frame come into question 310 can corrected this approximation Value.
At frame 308, coordinate transformation algorithm may be used for the coordinate of measured Temperature Distribution maps to material layer 402b's Space coordinates.Known relation between these coordinates can be stored in the memorizer of controller 210.If passed Sensor 228 and supporting member 204 may move each other, then can be for sensor 228 and supporting member 204 Each possible space configuration store multiple mutual relation.Coordinate transformation algorithm can with corrected perspective error and The pixel distance of measured distribution can be included and along the scale factor conversion between the real world length of structure material. In some instances, the additional fine setting of mapping can include based on can by sensor 228 detect in building material The calibration of the pattern provided.For example, it is possible to utilize the pattern of such as grid or interference figure and/or utilize different having Color builds in the position that structure region is provided in such as to build the corner etc. in region by the delivery of material, to allow by allowing Measured follow-up mapping video camera between Temperature Distribution and layer 402b detects.
At 310 frames, it is possible to use controller 210 controls to deliver data 208 based on preparation and segmented by temperature profile data And it is grouped in multiple regions with constant or less constant radiance.The radiance of material is its surface The relative ability of emitted energy.The scope of radiance can be up to any percentage ratio of 100%.The radiance pair of 50% Should be in such material: there is the half to fixed temperature and the energy launching ideal black-body transmitting in this identical temperature Amount.Radiance such as can depend on the type of material, the surface character of the chemical composition of material, such as roughness, The thickness material geometric shape of such as material layer and other factors.
As discussed earlier, preparation controls to deliver data 208 can limit such region: that formulation delivered arrives, Build material and be expected to be delivered at this position of preparation and/or solidification.Therefore, it can control to pass based on these preparations Send data 208 and based on attribute known to the material used and these materials the most cured, uncured, Surface character that heating, fusing and the result of the attribute of non-fused regions and these materials obtain, the layer of delivery Geometric shapes etc. determine the packet in the radiance region in temperature profile data.All data above can be considered as spoke Penetrate rate data.It is thus possible, for instance in fig .4, such as (1) is due to the heat biography of completed layer 402a from below Lead, and (2) are owing to building the optical depth thickness more than build material each layer of material, it is meant that layer 402a Cured region 408 can be visible to temperature sensor 228, and then affect radiance, therefore, it can pre- The cured region, center 408 of meter layer 402a makes the center on the surface of layer 402b compared with the exterior surface area of layer 402b There is different radiances.In some instances, as discussed earlier, preparation 404 can be performed before frame 306 Delivery.In this kind of situation, it is contemplated that the preparation 404 in layer 402b itself additionally affects the center of layer 402b Radiance in region.Generally, when determining the radiance on surface of top layer, each layers of build material can be given With weight.Such as, layer is closer to current top layer, it is possible to this layer is given greater weight.
In other examples, if frame 306 to 322 such as can be performed before delivering the ground floor building material Heating based on feedback, as will be discussed, then may determine that radiance or the supporting member 204 of supporting member 204 On the radiance of corrector strip.
Therefore, it can generate one or more packets that radiance is less constant, wherein, in the example of Fig. 4 a, Two packets based on radiance data can be generated.
In some instances, based on packet, can correct based on packet and radiance data can be initially at frame 306 Have been based on the temperature profile data generated from the supposition of the fixed conversion of radiant intensity to temperature.
In other examples, one or more packet can be selected to be used as feedback, and other packets one or more can To be not used as feedback, they can be shielded.In some instances, can be programmed for delivering the most pre-by sensor 228 Phase or the image during desirably there is the predetermined packet of packets of constant radiant rate.For example, it is possible to will based on definition expection coalescent The formulation delivered in the region not being delivered controls data 208 and makes a reservation for.
At frame 312, the data pixels of temperature profile data can be carried out interpolation to improve the resolution of temperature profile data Rate so that it has more data pixel.Interpolation determines that the side of the new data point between the set of known data point Method.For example, it is possible to applied interpolation algorithm by controller 210 so that having the planar set of the data pixels of X and Y coordinates Synthesis triangle is to determine the rule of the data pixels after the interpolation be indicated the temperature value after the interpolation in Temperature Distribution Then grid.Interpolation algorithm can use such as linear or smooth polynomial interpolation method.In some instances, if such as Temperature sensor 228 the most sufficiently catches the image of the perimeter building material, then can be by triangulation region Outside grid point extrapolation.
In this stage, depending on whether to determine packet respectively for corrective action or for covering, Temperature Distribution can go out It is now Temperature Distribution 500a or Temperature Distribution 500c of Fig. 6 c of Fig. 6 a, as discussed early in above with respect to frame 310 's.Fig. 6 a illustrates that region 502 can have fiducial temperature, and region 506 can have the phase bigger than fiducial temperature The temperature answered.These heterogeneities may be applied by such as energy at frame 312 during layer multiple of previously deposition Coalescence and the solidification of part are caused.The region that during the establishment of layer 402a previously, coalescent 404 has been delivered Can have the temperature of substantially greater than fiducial temperature, as shown in FIG. 6 a.It is less than it addition, region 504 can have The temperature of the fiducial temperature in region 502.In addition to region 506 is shaded areas 510, Fig. 6 c is similar to Fig. 6 a.
At frame 314, can by controller 210 respectively by Temperature Distribution 500a or 500c be stored in controller 210 Memorizer in predetermined target temperature profiles 500b of Fig. 6 b or the 500d of Fig. 6 d compare.Fig. 6 b is corresponding In uncovered distribution, and Fig. 6 d is corresponding to the distribution covered, and wherein give the latter and measurement covers Temperature Distribution Identical the covering of 500c.In addition to Fig. 6 d includes shaded areas 510, Fig. 6 d is similar to Fig. 6 b.
